Rebounding was decisive. Kentucky won the battle of the boards, 45-23. The Wildcats had 18 second-chance points, while the Commodores had only two. In addition, Vanderbilt committed 22 turnovers, many of the unforced variety.

VU's sloppy play helped Kentucky surge to a 23-10 lead, forcing Stallings into a timeout. At that point, the Commodores had made only four of their first 12 shots.

"We did all we could in the first 10 minutes to accomodate them," Stallings said. "The first 10 minutes were not what I was hoping for."

Trailing 46-30 with 14:25 remaining in regulation, Vanderbilt made its comeback. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Foster and Keegan Bell made it 47-43. Foster pushed the game into overtime with a 3-pointer with 14.6 seconds left, tying the game at 65.

Ogilvy sent the game into a second overtime when he scored on a put-back basket with 1.8 seconds left in the first overtime.

In the second extra period, Vanderbilt did not score a basket and managed only a free throw by Ogilvy.

"They just missed some shots," UK coach Billy Gillispie said of the Commodores. "They were probably a little tired. I know we were dreadfully tired."

Vanderbilt returns to action Thursday at Tennessee.
